Abstract
This study examined spouses' depression and anger, causal attributions for negative marital events, and marital satisfaction in a community sample of 312 newlywed couples. The results showed moderate intercorre lations among these variables for both husbands and wives. Regression analyses showed that spouses' attributions accounted for unique varian ce in marital satisfaction after controlling for own and partners' aff ect. Additional findings regarding affect and marital satisfaction wer e discussed.
